I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the talent He has bestowed on all of us!
I have been artistic all of my life and love experimenting with different mediums and techniques. This blog is my creative outlet to share my passion for cardmaking and papercrafting!

If you have not had a chance to check
out the Artistic Outpost blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you
to do so! Inspiration is posted each
week on the AO Blog/ AO Facebook Page and the challenge galleries have gorgeous
inspiration as well!

To create this card:

1). Tap
the Distress Oxide ink pads (Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint and Wilted Violet)
onto a craft mat, spritz with water and lay a piece of watercolor paper into
the ink. Lift up and dry with the heat
tool, spritzing additional water as you dry.
Keep repeating until you are satisfied with the results.

2). De-static
the panel with an embossing powder tool, stamp the Bottle Caps Background stamp
with Versamark™ ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with the heat
tool.

Add additional distress oxide ink as needed to darken some of the areas
and stamp the large splatter image from Grunge Elements with Wilted Violet
distress oxide ink. Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of white cardstock,
trim again and mount onto a piece of pear cardstock.

3). On a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” white cardstock, add a bit of the same distress oxide inks
onto the panel, trim and adhere the ¼” lavender and rose satin ribbon (wrapping
the ends of the ribbon behind the panel). Using the dot stencil, add stenciling with the clear glitter pen. Mount onto the pear card front before adhering to the white card base.

4). Create
the vertical panels from pieces of the Pastel 6x6 Paper Pack, mount onto white
and pear cardstock. Add to the card
front, popping up the lilac panel with dimensional foam.

5). Stamp
the ice cream cones from Ice Cream Shoppe with archival black ink, heat set
with the heat tool and watercolor with the distress oxide inks (adding vintage
photo for the cone). Fussy-cut the ice
cream cones, mount onto black cardstock and fussy-cut again. Use the clear glitter pen to add shimmer to
the ice cream.

6). Mount the focal image to the card front with
dimensional foam, add the ice cream cones and apply clear shimmer to the bottle
caps with the glitter pen.

7). Stamp the sentiment from Ice Cream Shoppe
with archival black ink onto white cardstock, heat set with the heat tool, trim
the sentiment, mount onto pear cardstock and add the sentiment to the card
front.

8). Finish
off the card by adding Nuvo Crystal Jewel Drops to the corners and focal image
panel.

Thanks again for taking the time to
stop by and visit- hugs and I hope you have a great weekend, sweet friends!

This card is awesomely pretty. I love your composition, color palette and the detailed tutorial. Thanks for playing with us at Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge. Helen, HLSMM DThttp://stampfairy-helen.blogspot.tw/
